Scheune am Bach 1840

"Scheune am Bach" (Barn by the Stream), a watercolor by Ernst Ferdinand Oehme, depicts a dilapidated wooden barn beside a small stream. Oehme, known for his landscapes and architectural scenes, captures the rustic beauty of the scene. The barn, partially collapsed, stands in stark contrast to the lush foliage surrounding it, creating a sense of tranquility and decay. This artwork, created in 1840, showcases Oehme's mastery of watercolor techniques and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of time and history.
